also known as Roger Scott
After serving in the US Army as a Russian language qualified signals intelligence analyst,I recieved my degree in Russian language and Literature at Fromthere,I attended St.Thomas U Law School in Miami. My First semester, I tied for Top student in my class, and won the 1L Moot Court competition.
From then on, I concentrated on legal internships. I worked for the Hon. Lenore Nesbitt, in Federal Court in Miami. The next year I interned at the Miami Federal Defenders Office, I was fortunate to working under the supervision of Paul Rashkind, one of the most brilliant criminal defense lawyers in the United States.
For my first paid legal job, I worked at the Orange County Public Defenders office. After four years, I left and formed my own law firm.
It is my belief that it is a great privilege to defend the US Constitution, and my clients. I have gone to trial hundreds of times, and stand by ready for trial at any time

Best lawyer in town
Roger is an excellent defense attorney, he walked my family through a difficult situation and always kept us updated on what was going on. Well Roger got me out of my DUI case with flying colors and and another traffic situation with all charges being dropped! Roger is amazing and so well respected b...
"I have known Roger Scott for over twenty years. He has always had the answer for any question that I have asked him. He knows criminal law like the back of his hand. I would use him if I were to get into trouble."
"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Roger forever, great attorney. He's always fighting the system--his focus is on fighting the system--and he has the skills and intellect to defend anything the government throws at him. I would trust Roger to defend my friends and family, you should too!"
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known him about 15 years. He is super smart, super hard working, but super friendly too. He get to the heart of a legal matter right away. I call him often to discuss legal questions. Very efficient. Loves the law and criminal procedure. He is who you want on your side."
"I endorse and would recommend Mr. Scott Jr. to everyone and anyone. I have been practicing for 24 years. I was the youngest judge in Colorado history, a magistrate, a prosecutor in three districts, a law professor, and have worked in private practice for years. I still learn from his Avvo answers each and every day. He is a huge credit to the legal system. Hire him."
"I endorse this lawyer wholeheartedly. He not only has a tremendous command of the law, he has a great common sense approach and does very well for all of his clients because of this unique combination"
"I endorse this lawyer. One of the smartest attorneys I have ever met. I am sure his clients get top notch representation."
"I endorse this lawyer. Rodger is a solid trial attorney. Skilled and smart. Plus you get a two for one deal because his wife is still one of the best trial lawyers in town too."
"I have known Roger for many years and know him to be an aggressive and tireless advocate for his clients. I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a lawyer in the central Florida area."
"I met Roger several years ago when a client of mine was arrested in a very serious drug case in Orlando. I called three Miami and Ft. Lauderdale lawyers that I know and the referral was unanimous. GET ROGER SCOTT. Well, they were right. He did a masterful job both on motion work but best, on cross examination. He so humiliated the lying narc, bringing him to the verge of years when his lies were exposed that the jury started to laugh and the prosecutor dumped the case, mid trial. If you ever need a stand up guy in the Orlando area, Roger is your man."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the pleasure of knowing Attorney Scott for many years. He is a hard working attorney who fights hard for his clients. He is passionate in court and cares about his clients. Attorney Scott is an great asset to the criminal defense community!"
"I do not often endorse other attorneys, as I believe that the general quality of the profession is deteriorating. However, I believe that an endorsement of Roger Scott is both necessary and proper. Roger is a skilled criminal litigator, well-versed in both state and federal criminal practice. He is knowledgeable, articulate, and persuasive. He is also something else -- something increasingly rare -- he is honest and real."
"I endorse this lawyer. Roger is a smart, aggressive pro! He has a great reputation for handling criminal cases and he will always put his best foot forward. He understands the criminal justice system and will always try hard to defend his clients against the government's vast power."
"I have known Roger Scott for over twenty years and am very comfortable endorsing him. He is a good man and can be trusted."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Scott is a zealous advocate who fights for his clients. This commitment, coupled with his extensive knowledge and experience of the law, the courts and all the parties at the table, make him an excellent choice of counsel."
